Some series finales, some thoughts

Over the past month or so a few shows (that I watched) have had their series finales, but I haven't had much time to really write about them.  I thought a quick abstract of each would be good, just for posterity purposes ;-)

Fringe
I have to say that I really liked fringe! I wasn't quite sure where it was going during the first season. It seemed like the X-Files for a new generation with the weekly fringe events happening. Then came the mirror universe, and then the invasion of the observers. I think the show had a good run. It could have gone another season, but it went out with a bang! Overall, I am quite happy with the ending, and hey, it was WAY better then the LOST ending (which was a major disappointment!)

Last Resort
This was a new series that started last fall, following the plot by some elements of the government to start world war 3 or something.  I think this was a great series that was cancelled before its time! Last Resort tied things up in a satisfactory way in the end, but it really felt rushed.  Too bad it didn't get more seasons.

Leverage
Leverage was quite a good show of modern day Robin Hoods. The show actually had a number of seasons, and it was quite good, but it started feeling a bit long in the tooth. In the end, some people retired from robin hooding, and others took over the business of helping people who can't be helped by a corrupt system.  All things considered, a pretty good finale.

Flashpoint
Flashpoint was an awesome canadian cop drama. I don't remember how many seasons it had (I suppose I could have looked it up), but it felt like the series had at least one more season to go before they turned off the lights. Basically the show was Canadian SWAT, the stories and the characters were interesting, and it didn't feel like they were repeating themselves.  In the end, the series finale (a 2 part finale) was pretty explosive.  Too bad one of the side characters died. :-/
